Engineered immune cells take on Hard-to-Treat lung cancer

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable Stage IIIB ,IIIC or IV squamous cell lung cancer * Confirmed to express GPC3, as assessed by immunohistochemistry at a central lab * Participants who have progressed or intolerant to no more than three lines of prior systemic therapies for advanced/metastatic squamous cell lung cancer * At least one measurable target lesion * The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) measured by echocardiography ≥50% and reported as non-impaired. * Sufficient pulmonary function * The laboratory testing results meet the study requirements * Female participants of childbearing potential must test negative for pregnancy in serum or urine. Non-sterilized participants (males and females) agree to take effective contraceptive measures for at least 12 months and until CAR-T below lower limit of detection (LLOD) by PCR which occurs last after C-CAR031 infusion. Exclusion Criteria: * known to harbor a driver mutation for which targeted standard therapy is recommended in accordance with local treatment guidelines. * Known life-threatening allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to the CAR-T product or its excipients, including dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) * Contraindication to lymphodepleting agents, including fludarabine and/or cyclophosphamide. * History of splenectomy or organ transplantation * Prior treatment with Any CAR-T therapy OR any therapy that is targeting GPC3 * Uncontrolled or intercurrent pulmonary disease * Clinically meaningful ascites * Uncontrolled pleural effusion or pericardial effusion requiring recurrent drainage procedures * Cancer-related spinal cord compression, leptomeningeal disease, or brain metastases * Received radiation therapy, local treatment, vaccine, blood transfusion, systemic treatment within certain period of apheresis required by study protocol * History of or with active diseases or conditions of that's defined in study protocol
